Being a campus where people want to work, learn and thrive takes much more than the occasional giveaway, and building enduring institutional pride means more than pomp and circumstance. It starts with aligning purpose with leadership goals, igniting connectivity through careful planning and establishing key partnerships for lasting success. Learn how building pride through employee engagement yields impressive business results and walk away with easy ways to recognize staff within your departments, reward individual contributions and celebrate their success. That way, we can enhance morale, retain employees, create unique experiences and ultimately build a culture teams will thrive in — all while celebrating what it means to be True Blue.
